Simple node.js server framework, plug and play.

Motivation

The main goal of pinha is to make building a node.js server easy, without all of the configuration or imperative boilerplate required for other server frameworks. If you prefer to build apps with function composition or even a point-free style, then pinha is for you.

With pinha you get all of these out-of-the-box:

• Pure, functional and Promise-based
• Plug-n-play
• Composeable json
• Routing functions
• Several common
• Json-formatted
• CORS support

Let's try a quick Hello World example server. It accepts a :name param in the url, and then includes that name in the json response body.

const http = require('http')
const { compose } = require('ramda')
const { json, logger, methods, mount, routes } = require('pinha')

const hello = req => ({
  message: `Hello ${req.params.name}!`
})

const app = routes({
  `/hello/:name`: methods({
    GET: compose(json, hello)
  })
})

const opts = { errLogger: logger, logger }

http.createServer(mount(app, opts)).listen(3000, logger)
